A hungry long-necked dinosaur munches a sprig of leaves on this free dinosaur eating leaves coloring page. This one is a full scene: a tall palm tree, a clump of ferns, a tree trunk and a grassy ground line surround a grinning dinosaur with a striped belly.
Who this page is for
Ages 5–9. There’s more to color here than on our single-dinosaur pages, so it suits kids who have a bit of patience or who love drawing jungles. Younger children can color just the dinosaur and leave the plants for a grown-up to help with.
Dinosaur facts to share while you color
- Most of the biggest dinosaurs were plant-eaters. Some had to eat hundreds of kilograms of leaves every day.
- Long-necked dinosaurs couldn’t chew; they swallowed leaves whole and let their stomach do the work.
- Ferns and palm-like plants really did grow when dinosaurs were alive — there was no grass yet, and no flowers for most of the dinosaur age.
Make it an activity
Use this page for a “green challenge”: how many different greens can your child find in the crayon box? Leaves, ferns and palm fronds can each get their own shade, and the dinosaur can be any color that isn’t green.
